usuSCA-FOLK029a_Bear River Heritage Area Historic Barn Survey

Kurt Anhder talks about the history of Richmond, some details about the historic barn on his property, and information about other barns in the area. The house and barn were originally built by the Fullers. The house was built in 1908 and the barn between 1920 and 1930. He says that a barn with a cement silo was probably not built any later than this. His barn has tongue and groove construction and wooden pegs. He thinks it was originally used as a horse barn and it has a tack room. Animals used to graze under the west side of the barn because the shape of the landscape allowed a space under there. Unfortunately, the sound of the recording is very bad, and it is hard to hear.
